"Be the change you want to see in the world."

Just got done watching the 3 hour movie Gandhi. Wow! Even though I was a Religious Studies major at UVa, I never did any extensive research on Mahatma Gandhi. And I'm not saying that watching a movie counts as legitimate research, but it did give me an introduction to a profound religious leader that had a huge impact on the world through his message of love, truth, equality, and non-violence. Though I do believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ holds the ultimate Truth, I do not deny that other people in this world have brought messages of truth as well. I have been contemplating the many words of truth that Gandhi said, and I challenge you to do the same.
